OVEN-DOOR FOR STOVES, soc.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 509,012, dated November21, 1893.

Application filed March 21,1893. Serial No. 467,068. (No model.) I

To all whom it may concern/.

Be it known that I, JACOB E.YEAGER, a citizenof the United States,residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania,have invented certain new and use-.

ful Improvements in Oven-Doors for Stoves, Ranges, and the Like,0f whichthefollowing is a specification, due reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, forming a part hereof.

can be made of the interior of the oven or its contents without openingthe oven door proper or permitting the escape of the heat confined inthe oven; it being the object of my invention to overcome such resultantdisadvantages necessary and unavoidable in the use of the oven-doors asheretofore constructed and in common use, by the sudden rapid cooling ofthe oven-chamber upon the opening of the oven-door, to the detriment ofthe articles being baked, particularly so with bread and pastry. v

In the drawings: Figure 1 is a perspective view of a stove embodying myinvention; and Fig. 2 a sectional view of the oven-door of the same,taken on the line a:0c.

Referring now to the drawings in which the several parts are indicatedby numerals, simi- -lar numerals denoting like parts: 1 is astove, rangeor the like of any known or desired construction or design provided witha door 2 to the oven thereof.

In embodyinga preferred form of my in- .vention the door 2 is cast orconstructed with an aperture. or opening 3 suitably located in the bodyportion thereof and of any desired design in outline and provided with acontinuousseat or flange 4 bordering said opening, and mounted on theseat or flange 4: is a sheet of glass 5 or other suitable transparentmaterial that will stand the heat of the oven without suffering damage.A retaining plate mounting of a cover 9 for the glass 5, as a guardagainst accidental breakage of said glass, all as clearly shown in theaccompanying drawings. 7

It will be apparent that the use of the cover 4 9 may well be dispensedwith and that means other than shown for mounting the glass 5 in or overthe opening 3 of the door 2, and also the movable cover 9, whenemployed, may be adopted with equally good result.

I desire it understood that I do not Wish to limit my inventionto theexact details of construction of' parts as shown and described as thesame admits of many variations both in construction and design, but mayvary the same in any manner the better to carry out the spirit of myinvention without departing from the true scope thereof.

I claixn An oven door for ranges or the like provided with jan openingin its body portion, and a seatsurrounding said opening and extendingrearward from the body portion, a sheet of glass fitted in said seat andlying flush with the outer surface of the door, a retaining platesecured to the face of the door and overlapping the edges of the glass,and a movable cover for the glass hinged to said retaining plate.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name this 15th dayofMarch, A. D. 1893.
